Arsenal away pre match thread

The boys are going to be fully rested, Silva will be near 100% and there's a great chance that Aguero will get an hour or so.
There's no excuses for us not to go out and win this game as long as we don't go 2 in midfield and offer the 2 CBs the protection they require.
A three of Yaya/Delph and Fernandinho with Silva and Sterling either side and Aguero up front will be good enough to put the game to them. That leaves us with a strong bench including KDB, Navas and Bony to come on and change the game if required. I'd play Kolarov over Clichy and Sagna right then Mangala and Otomendi (unless by some miracle Vinnie is fit)
I know we've not been great at times over the last couple of months but this a big game in which the boys can rectify their poor form and show the league that we mean business.
City win this by two clear goals.

Absolutely. Quick! someone call him a cockerney cant!

The Arse are playing well at the mo, though IF we can find something like a "big game" performance that we all know we're capable of, there's no reason we cant win this one - or at the very least get a draw.

I lived a stroll from Highbury for part of my stint dahn sahf so used to go and watch them when they were at home so am looking forward to this one.
 
I'm usually optimistic for any game but I'm not expecting anything from this one. So hopefully that's a good sign.
 
Aguero working with the team.

Komps, Zabba, Fernando and Nasri all still out :(

Arsenal next 6....

Southampton (A)
Bournemouth (H)
Newcastle (H)
Liverpool (A)
Stoke (A)
Chelsea (H)

Whilst we play

Sunderland (H)
Leicester (A)
Watford (A)
Everton (H)
Palace (H)
WHU (A)

Even if Arsenal did beat us I'd fancy us to claw the 4 points back after those next 6 games.

Not sure really, I mean all of Leicester everton and palace will be very hard games, and whu/watford won't be easy either! if you had to make a call, i'd say both teams have 2 bankers (bournmoutn and newc for us and sunderland/palace for you) but really, quite a tough run of games for both of us!

Wenger should learn from what happened at Norwich. Say Sanchez starts and creates a goal, paves the way for an Arsenal win, but his hammy goes and you lose him for 2 months. That's a majorly bad trade.

Kompany is technically fit to play (he is training again) and is as critical to us as Sanchez is to you. But it's very unlikely he will play for exactly the reason above. You don't take roll-the-dice risks on a single match in a long season unless it's truly a title decider (which this is far from) or it's a major cup final.

Completely correct, however i think the difference is you have better cover for K compared to what we have for sanchez.
